My first make of the year 😃. I thought I would use up some of my crochet cotton stash, I thought it would take up less space as a doily, & make possible presents later on in the year. I’m using Doilies in Colour from Annie’s crochet, a book I had purchased a few years ago, but never got around to making any.
This year I made some sew on sequins calendars for some friends for Christmas. 
They are quite pretty.
Luna & I wish everyone a happy & prosperous new year.
This time I have actually managed some back stitching
Finished all 3 birdies, they will be hung on my little tree later today
Have any of you played this game
We got it as a quick game to play over Christmas, it’s really good. You have a currency of buttons & you buy patches as you go, to place on your quilt board. All the patches are different sizes, you can only buy any of the next 3 patches in front of the marker ( if you have enough buttons) you get extra button income from the buttons on your quilt patches. It get interesting when you start to become unable to fit patches on the board ( especially if you have a tactical opponent such as my husband)

Christmas crafting is underway
One calendar done, two more to go!
Two bird Christmas tree decorations from a kit mum gave me, & one more to go.
Have I done any cross stitch? No. I have done lots of other things. This week I took 15 girls doing A level physics to Harry Potter studio tour, for a careers/ STEM workshop, we all had a great time & came home with baby nifflers.
Personally I got 2 & buckbeak , it’s been a long term, with still 3 weeks to go I needed cheering up a bit.
Please follow the links below to see what the rest of the group have been working on.
No cross stitch this time, as I’ve been busy finishing off my gold work. I just need to finish mounting it, & then it can go in for assessment.

My stitching rate is slowing, as the marking kids work increases, it looks like I’ve managed half the flowers, so not too bad.

Over the summer I’ve been making a few different bracelets 
This one is made by crocheting the beads on to a wire, then winding on to the bangle.
The second one is made on memory wire.
Here’s this times progress, I’ve been carrying this project about with me, it’s been on holiday! I’m afraid it will be a little while before you see a face or back stitching, as it’s on a separate sheet ( that I’m not carrying round)
